Sen. Thad Cochran's (R-MS) campaign on Sunday released a voicemail of primary challenger state Sen. Chris McDaniel's campaign manager calling the Cochran campaign about the arrest of a pro-McDaniel blogger.

The voicemail appears to contradicts McDaniel's statement about the arrest. He told The Hill that he didn't hear about Clayton Kelly, who was arrested for breaking into Cochran's wife Rose's nursing home to take a photo of her, until Saturday morning. Yet in the voicemail McDaniel campaign manager Melanie Sojourner said that she learned of the arrest on Friday night.

“The vile epithet used and confirmed by the commissioner has no place in our community,” Romney, who owns a vacation home in Wolfeboro, said in a statement to the Boston Herald published on Saturday. “He should apologize and resign.”

A congressional candidate for Arizona's first district seat on Saturday said that most people who carry out mass shootings are Democrats, the Arizona Daily Star reported.

"It is totally ridiculous if you look at all the fiascos that have occurred, 99 percent of them have been by Democrats pulling their guns out and shooting people. So I don’t think you have a problem with the Republicans," candidate Gary Kiehne said during a debate, according to the Arizona Daily Star.

"I'm not questioning her health. What I’m questioning is whether or not it's a done deal that she’s running," he said during a "Fox News Sunday" panel discussion. "And she would not be human if she did not take this into consideration. She’ll be 69 at the time of the 2016 election. If she gets elect and serves two terms, she’ll be 77."

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Thursday said that Hillary Clinton's "only and greatest achievement" is that she's a woman, and that's why many Democrats are eager for her to run for president.

During his show, Limbaugh discussed a recent video in which young people excited about the possibility of Clinton running struggled to name any of her concrete achievements as secretary of state.

New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. told his staff in a memo on Thursday that his decision to fire Executive Editor Jill Abramson had nothing to do with pay and that she was not compensated less than her predecessors.

The memo, obtained by the Huffington Post and Politico, was sent following reports that Abramson had approached Times management about compensation not long before her Wednesday firing. The reports indicated she had inquired about being paid less than her predecessor, Bill Keller.
